Quick Review: A bit sluggish even for a slow-burner, this family drama- turned-body horror relies on mood, atmosphere, and sense of dread to sustain your interest until the mostly uneventful first hour, and although the rewarding final act is gross-out creepy, grisly, and fairly frightening, "Relic" refuses to tie up the loose ends around all the 'transformation' mystery, leaving too many question unanswered, and instead decides to play it as a bizarrely sad allegory on the horror of getting old.
